      Photobucket must have punished you matt for uploading such a large photo. Off topic/somewhat on topic, I've actually noticed this with a few of your photos in the past.

      The turbo RS certainly is nice, but I still like your red cat a lot.
      to both of them!

      Thanks Ron...I feel lucky to have found it..
      I really didn't talk to the owner a lot, but it had a re-paint & looked flawless & the int was equally as nice, not really a fan of red interiors but the color was so rich it looked new..here's another pic of the engine..

      Great looking cars. The RST looks a bit low, wonder if he has replaced the springs to drop the height a bit.

      I beleive that Mike Croke's 84 RST originally had a red interior....

      No doubt it's been dropped a bit. Surprised an original turbo RS Capri Gould not be a member here.
